FIRST IN PLAYBOOK - Setting the record straight: Pete Buttigieg has heard the criticisms. After his appearance last week on "Pod Save America," the former Transportation secretary drew a negative reaction from fellow Democrats over his response to a question about Gaza - an answer that critics thought was mealy mouthed in the face of a humanitarian catastrophe. "I get it," Buttigieg says now of the negative reactions to that interview. "It's important to be clear about something this enormous and this painful. It's just that it's so enormous and it's so painful that sometimes words can fail."

“Look, I get it. [more white noise]”

Quite a few people are learning in real time how banks and networks affect our culture and life, but I can't stress enough: the rules such as they are only paper thin. It has no real backing.

Sure, I think some of the arguments are silly, but if it means queer people make more money then idgaf.

especially mad because the screenshot is demonstrably untrue
- an appeal by one deranged bigot's lawyers means next to nothing
- there is plenty of good reporting interviewing actual legal scholars that backs up that point
- that sort of alarmist reporting is hurting my friends and people I love

In authoritarian China and Cuba you can get an abortion. 40 ①231 O 1.6K ••• yitzi2.bsky.social @yitzi2.bsky.social • 17h But in free democratic countries you can criticize the government without retaliation, which is far more important in the long term. 3 ••• two bears watching stuff @bearswatchingstuff.bsky.social • 16h I want to check something.

Going to the UK is a hassle. 2. I do not, in fact, support Palestine Action.

Israeli military coup soon?

Real sad man hours out here.

Voter in Iowa asks Ruben Gallego if he and the Democratic Party will support those advocating for Palestinians.

Gallego says “The people of Gaza are in this situation because Donald Trump is President.”

Voters point out Biden was president too.

Gallego: “Whatever, hey this is your opinion dude.”

The etymology of the below tiktok is astounding. In order to fully understand it you need to know 9 different pieces of art over the last 30 years:

it's time to get wild

When Andrew Cuomo joined Benjamin Netanyahu's legal defense team last November, it was already more than a year into the Israeli military's killing of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza.

It’s a familiar pattern with Cuomo.

After Mahmoud Khalil was abducted by ICE from the lobby of his apartment building, Cuomo waited 72 hours before issuing a weak, confusing statement that he then recanted a day later.

Andrew Cuomo couldn’t allow his first, tepid recognition of reality — that the Israeli government, with the full support of the Trump administration, is starving the people of Gaza — last more than a few hours without walking it back.

This is someone who believes in nothing.

The liberal market is such a powerful tool for fascism in so many horrific ways.

There were a few months where my main daily focuses were: Donald trumps efforts, a startup barely hanging on, the anniversary of my girlfriend’s suicide, and editing a documentary on the eelam tamil.

I only got on this cursed platform because of Rani and now that she's dead I care less and less for this shit every day.

Okay have a good night.

I care because it suggests you're acting in good faith in this discussion. Feel free to disabuse me of that notion.

It does.

That's just not true, but I appreciate you admitting that yes I watched the video and that my opinion is at worst simply a copy of someone who has to be recognized as knowing what they're talking about because of his credentials and experiences.

Second video, 5:54.

It's so bad faith to insinuate that I would be so boldly foolish as to send links I hadn't already watched as a way of explaining the source of my opinion.

I sent you some DMs. I hope you'll take me up on the offer because it's eyebrow raising to me to interpret my statement as a vague threat. I feel like I deserve more charity than that.

Ayo what.

I strongly recommend you watch the two videos I linked. You don't like how I look for this or think I'm ignorant, fine it wouldn't be the first time, but I'm just telling you what black voices have said. You can ignore them at your own peril.

His father named him that in honor of an incredibly important figure in Ghana. The reason this is a meaningful signal is that Zohran, by virtue of being raised in this educated environment, would absolutely know the context of that checkbox in particular: the brutal results of chatel slavery.

I think this is a case of you not knowing his father's academic career which is sad because he truly is an incredible man much like his son.

Do you really not know the origin of the name Kwame?

I had no idea you had this kind of debate perverty in you. DM if you actually want to converse, we can hop on a call or something, but I'm not going to reply to this anymore.
